The air is crisp, the leaves are just starting to change, we are taking up residence at the soccer fields....'Tis the season for pumpkin everything! The trick is to walk right past all the "pumpkin flavored" junk the grocery store is shoving in your face & find yourself some REAL pumpkin. If you are feeling rather adventurous you can get whole pumpkins & roast the flesh yourself...I will tackle that feat another day. For right now I am reaching for the cans of 100% pure pumpkin puree - the ONLY ingredient is PUMPKIN! This yummy stuff is low in calories, high in fiber, packed with vitamin A, & chocked full of antioxidants. What's not to love?
Here are a few of my favorite uses for pumpkin!
Mix 1/2 cup old fashioned oats & 1/2 cup water in a microwave safe bowl.
Microwave for 1 minute.
Add 1/2 scoop vanilla Shakeology or vanilla protein powder & 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Mix well.
Add 2 Tablespoons pumpkin puree, 2 Tablespoons raisins, & a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
Mix & enjoy!
